Giving Your Dog Pet Supplements
There are always questions when dealing with senior labrador retrievers regarding the use of pet supplements. Many people turn to them when their labrador is facing problems with hip dysplasia or sore joints. Here is some information I have gathered from the chatboard to help make the right decision for supplements.
Always look for a supplement that lists how much of each ingredient your dog is getting. The most thing to keep in mind when looking for supplements is to do your homework. Know what you're giving your dog and how much of it. Many times they do not mention what exact dose of each ingredient you are getting. Discuss all of your choices with your vet to ensure correct dosage and appropriateness for your dog. You will have to consider your dogs weight when picking out a dose and your vet can help you with this. You vet may also be able to reccomend a good product to use. Also make sure to research the ingredients being used and what country they are coming from if you can. We need not be reminded of the dog food recall and past toy problem from China.
